Mobile Device Management – Secure Every Device That Touches Your Data
Your team works from laptops, phones, and tablets – in the office, at home, and on the move. Mobile device management (MDM) with Microsoft Intune lets you manage and secure every device, enforce compliance, and protect your data – without restricting your team’s flexibility. MDM for business is no longer optional – it’s essential.
Your team checks email on their phone, accesses SharePoint from their home laptop, and downloads files to unmanaged devices. Without MDM, you have no visibility and no control.
Lost or stolen devices are a data breach waiting to happen
If a company phone goes missing, can you remotely wipe it? If an employee leaves, can you remove company data from their personal device?
You can’t enforce security policies
Without mobile device management, you can’t require encryption, enforce a PIN, prevent screen captures, or block unmanaged devices from accessing corporate data.
What Is Mobile Device Management?
Mobile Device Management Explained
Mobile device management (MDM) is the technology that allows your business to control and secure every device that accesses company data – whether it’s a company-issued laptop, a personal smartphone, or a tablet used by a contractor.
With Microsoft Intune as our MDM platform, we can:
Enrol devices remotely
no need to physically touch the device
Enforce security policies
require encryption, strong passwords, and up-to-date software
Deploy applications
push business apps to devices automatically
Block non-compliant devices
if a device doesn’t meet your security standards, it can’t access your data
Remotely wipe devices
remove company data from lost, stolen, or ex-employee devices
Mobile device management is particularly important for businesses with hybrid or remote teams, BYOD policies, or regulated industries where data protection is a compliance requirement.
Solution
What We Manage with Microsoft Intune
Device Enrolment
Simple, self-service device enrolment for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Company-owned or BYOD.
Compliance Policies
We define and enforce compliance requirements – encryption, passcode complexity, OS version, jailbreak detection – and automatically block non-compliant devices from accessing your data.
Application Management
Deploy, update, and manage applications remotely. Control which apps can access corporate data. Prevent data leakage between personal and corporate apps on BYOD devices.
Conditional Access Integration
Combine Intune compliance with Azure AD Conditional Access. Only compliant, managed devices can access your Microsoft 365 environment.
Remote Wipe
If a device is lost, stolen, or an employee leaves – remotely wipe company data without affecting personal files (on BYOD devices) or perform a full factory reset (on company-owned devices).
Reporting and Visibility
Real-time dashboard showing all enrolled devices, compliance status, and security posture. Know exactly what's accessing your data at all times.

FAQ
Mobile Device Management Common Questions
Does MDM work with personal devices (BYOD)?
Yes. Intune supports BYOD with app-level management – we can protect company data on personal devices without managing the entire device or accessing personal information.
Which devices are supported?
Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. All current versions.
Does this replace antivirus?
No. MDM manages and secures the device; endpoint protection (antivirus/EDR) protects against threats. We typically deploy both together – Intune for device management and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for threat protection.
Is MDM included in your IT support plans?
Mobile device management configuration and ongoing management is included in our Standard and Premium managed IT support packages. For standalone MDM deployment, contact us for pricing.
How much does mobile device management cost?
MDM for business is included at no extra cost in our Standard and Premium managed IT support plans. Microsoft Intune is included with Microsoft 365 Business Premium licences. For standalone MDM projects, we provide fixed-fee quotes after scoping.
Can MDM manage both company and personal devices?
Yes. Microsoft Intune supports full device management for company-owned devices and app-level management for personal (BYOD) devices. This means we can protect company data on a personal phone without managing the entire device or accessing personal photos and messages.
